Man that looks like some good honey! Looks like that queen didn't take to that bee quick much either :-D

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

I am curious how do you bee proof the rest of the house?? The reason I am asking is, I am always worried my bees will swarm out and end up in the attic of the yoga center and I will have a terrible problem getting them out.

I am thinking of hiring someone to go around and seal up any holes or cracks I see in the siding or anywhere, but what do you do??

Well, you know I can't showcase the red umbrella in every video now! :-D

Bad to the bone bbq, where bad never tasted so good! Is what the sign on the wall inside reads. :-D

Annette, on this one we used a mesh material as a backing and caulked over it with clear, paintable latex caulking. I work the caulking in with my fingers so the gaps are well sealed. If the caulk fails the bees still can't get past the mesh.

Yeah, my voice in the sign off definitely tells of a dude that's worn out!

Now you have me wonderin. I wonder what a little BeauSoleil (hey I am from the north and they are the only zydego band that will travel up here) background music would do? Would they come out in pairs, two steppin? I have never seen a band that get folks, even northerners, a two steppin like they do. :-D

Thanks JP. I have a guy who does some work for me and he and I are going to try and bee proof the house at the yoga center. It is a very old house with lots of places a swarm could end up. Do you have a name for this "mesh material"?
